Vanessa's Dumplings

Quick, cheap bites at Vanessa's Dumplings in the lower east side.  We had a sesame pancake sandwich with egg, 8 boiled vegetable dumplings with hot sauce, a pork and cabbage bun, and kimchi - all for $8.  This place is constantly bustling.

The bread on the sesame pancake was delicious and I think this was the best thing to come back for.

This was my first time eating at the place, but I have come by before to buy frozen dumplings to cook at home, which were equally as delicious.
